  • I’m a fairly recent convert to Linux (currently trying out Fedora). I thought GNOME was trash and I didn’t get why anyone used it until I realized that the nvidia kernel wasn’t loading any it was defaulting back to noveau.

    Fixed that problem and now all the DEs that I’ve tried seem beautiful and fast, including GNOME.







  • This. I’m not completely sober but I did get myself in trouble a couple times after moving to a new city where I didn’t know anyone. The only way to meet people was at a bar and when I did make friends with my interests, again, it was always meeting up at a bar.

    I get it. Where are you going to go after work when other places are closing and it’s dark outside.

    my social anxiety made it all worse. What do I do with my hands? I guess I’ll hold a drink. I hated the whole thing. Now, I’m in my 30s and I barely leave my house. Dogs are better than people. 😊




  • I just got one for around $600 in the US on Swappa. I tried to get one cheaper but couldn’t find it where I lived. Anyway, I’m super happy with it. I made sure it was a low number of battery cycles and it’s in near mint condition.

    The other day, I was coding in VSStudio, debugging JavaScript in Chrome with multiple tabs open, and logging issues I found on a template in Excel. Excel alone makes my work computer freeze and I didn’t notice a single slow down on this thing. It was fantastic.

    I don’t love the way Mac handles open-window management but aside from that I’m very happy.

    TLDR; Fandom has a lot of QAnon articles written to make the scams seem legitimate to less computer savvy people.

    My mom has fallen in a Qanon conspiracy world. The people from that world write Fandom articles about themselves to make it seem legitimate. I found them when I started investigating these people trying to convince her to steer clear.

    I don’t trust a single thing on Fandom anymore.
